Node is pretty much the new PHP. JS is pretty easy to pick up, a lot of people know it, and then node was invented so that people could just write their whole stack in it. Apart from ‘I already know it’, most people would be hard pressed to come up with a reason why node was the best choice for their project. You can say the same about PHP, except... PHP is infinitely more fucked and nonsensical than JS. There’s no project where PHP is the best choice, or even a realistically defensible choice. It is also an enduring blight upon the internet. PHP apps are riddled with bugs and vulnerabilities.
